Repeating this procedure will revert the unit back to the level-sensitive mode, as indicated by the status LED slowly flashing red (about 1 Hz).

In the pulse-sensitive mode, a positive-going pulse edge will toggle the amplifier between the “Standby” and “Operate” states, duplicating the action of the front-panel switch. In this mode the front panel switch is always operative. However, operating the unit with the front panel switch may put the unit out of “synch” with the control device. If this should occur, simply press the front panel switch to restore “synch”.

Channel Configuration

Each channel of the V-6x is a self-contained module (except for the power supply). If you wish to add channels to your amplifier after purchase, additional modules may easily be installed by your authorized Ayre dealer.

The V-6x will hold a maximum of six channels. There are three independent power supplies installed. One power supply feeds the two left-hand slots, another feeds the two center slots, and another feeds the two right-hand slots.
